2014 RSC October, Black Gray Brown, a Quilt Top, a FINISH and Let's Book It

This month we play with black, gray and brown scraps. Since I used my all my scrappy rainbow 8.5" blocks to make make the quilt in the picture below, the three 16 patch blocks in the above picture will start a new stack of 8.5" RSC blocks.
Two cotton crochet spiral scrunchies made it into the picture. As did a baby quilt pin basted and ready to quilt next week. I sewed my scrappy rainbow triangles together and added a border. It's sandwiched with a pieced backing and some pieced White and Natural batting.

The pieced backing is Monet inspired prints. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 70.5" x 88", a generous twin or cuddle quilt.

I looked through patterns I had bought and never used to find my "UR PRICELESS COIN PURSE" pattern by Madame Sam at Sew We Quilt. It took a little longer to make than I thought it would ... but it's cute as a button in Laurel Burch prints. I'm linking this finish to Sharon's Vroomans's blog in her "Let's Book It" post.

Darling baby quilt - lots of color to entertain some new person. Love the other quilt, too. The sampler with so many shapes and colors. Very pretty, and a finish!Also love the coin purse. Great choice of fabric, so cute.You have been busy.Hugs

You are so creative! That photo of the little change purse is so great. Being able to see front and back is too cool! The RSC quilts are adorable. Love the spools, stars,16 patches and hearts in a rainbow of colours. The diamonds aren't too shabby either. Great finish and ahead of schedule too. Great start on the browns, greys and blacks.

Yea for another finish!! You rock, Sheila!! I love it! I also love your diamond baby quilt. And your coin purse is adorable!! BTW, I am trying to fix my settings so you can respond. Let me know if I have corrected the problem. Thanks!!
